A project by Mar\u00eda Ribot and Jos\u00e9 A. S\u00e1nchez<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1942 H\u00e9l\u00e9ne Elizabeth Louise Amelie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor travelled to M\u00e9xico city in the company of her mother Paula, while her father, Jean Poniatowska was fighting with the French army, with whose forces he landed in Normandy shortly afterwards. The princess published her novel The Train Passes Through First under the name of Elena Poniatowska; she presented the book, dressed as \u201ctehuana\u201d in the company of the actress and activist Jesusa Rodr\u00edguez, in the character of a machinist. Six years earlier the two women had turned up in front of the Mexican parliament to protest against the militarisation of Chiapas. Sub-commander Marcos moved into Chiapas on the first of January Exactly twelve years afterwards Marcos travelled the 32 Mexican states during his Other campaign. Roberto Bola\u00f1o moved to M\u00e9xico in 1966. Seven years later he returned to Santiago de Chile crossing the whole of Latin America, from north to south, hitching lifts or using local buses. He arrived late, but despite this was kept under arrest during more than a week. His experiences were to inspire the novel 2666. Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 27 years as prisoner 46664. In 1993, a year before he was elected president of South Africa, he travelled to Stockholm to collect the Nobel peace prize. Edward Said died before peace came to his homeland Palestine, which he had to abandon with his family in 1948. He travelled to Egypt and later to the US where he published his most famous work Orientalism. In 1957 Fatima Mernissi travelled from Fez in Morocco to Paris and in 1995 published Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood. Later she reflected on the influence of Chinese legend on the Arab imagination and how it manifests itself in the tales of the Arabian Nights. Rabih Mroue preferred not to travel and stayed put in Beirut with his wife where they asked: \u201cWho is afraid of representation?\u201d. Certainly not the poet Joan Brossa: he used to travel from Barcelona to Perpignan to visit strip-tease cabarets, at that time forbidden in Franco\u2019s Spain. The musician Carles Santos followed him some years later. In September 2007 Sonia G\u00f3mez flew out of Barcelona landing 12 hours later in Shanghai, thirty six years before Wong Kar Wai arrived at his destination in a mysterious train. In 1978 Esther Ferrer was on The John Cage Train: in search of lost silence (1978), heading for Bologna. Afterwards she went to Paris. The Egyptian actress Safaa Fathy arrived there in 1980 and made the film Derrida’s Elsewhere (1999). In 2008 she stated, \u201cJacques Derrida is not dead\u201d. Ana Mendieta is definitely dead. She was killed in 1984, when she fell from the 34th floor of a building in Greenwich Village. She had lived in the United States since her exile from Cuba at the age of twenty three. William Pope still lives in New Jersey; in 2007 he was invited to Vienna by Tim Etchells and spoke for 12 hours wearing a Condoleezza Rice mask. Juan Loriente was in the audience for the entire performance; afterwards, during his return to Vega de Pas, he walked for 12 days, while reflecting on humanity. Nao Bustamante, dressed as herself, flew to Jerusalem in 1995; with Mar\u00eda Ribot she took a pilgrimage to the sacred site without encountering any of the three Gods. Disappointed, she returned to Los \u00c1ngeles; Mar\u00eda to Madrid where she asked Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1nchez to write a text which would help her to understand what they were doing. He did so, but despite this Mar\u00eda moved to London, where she performed several times at the ICA. Some years later, while living in Geneva, she bumped into her old friend, Joshua Sofaer, author of a blank book, who had travelled to Switzerland to present his video: What is Live Art? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presence and telepresence. Real and imagined journeys. Meeting places. Look into each other eyes and act. Be a prisoner and yet travel. Erase borders. Run to the encounter. Fly to the future. Don\u2019t let time terrify you. Time flies, time runs away. To play. To invent. Subvert languages. Disguise your self to search for the real. Touch each other. Think of us. Risk your identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 28th of May 1994 sub-commandant Marcos wrote: \u201cMarcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Isidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a gang member in Neza, a rocker in the National University, a Jew in Germany, an ombudsman in the Defence Ministry, a communist in the post-Cold War era, an artist without gallery or portfolio…. A pacifist in Bosnia, a housewife alone on Saturday night in any neighbourhood in any city in Mexico, a striker in the CTM, a reporter writing filler stories for the back pages, a single woman on the subway at 10 pm, a peasant without land, an unemployed worker… an unhappy student, a dissident amid free market economics, a writer without books or readers, and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains of southeast Mexico. So Marcos is a human being, any human being, in this world. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalized and oppressed minorities, resisting and saying, ‘Enough\u2019!\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
